Summary: Martial-Arts fans wake up!
Review: Everybody in search of a good story or anything else that would normally make this title worth a look: Go away! This is for Martial-Arts fans only! But if you like the old fashioned "good guy gets trained by wise old master to kick the butt of the bad guy"-movie Type: Go ahead! Buy this! This early van Damme movie delivers it all (unlike most of his more recent ones): Great fights with a stunningly energetic choreography and one of the longes training-sequences ever to be seen in a movie. Especially the final fight agains evil Tong Po is a feast for every Martial Arts junkie. Going over almost 12 minutes (beware of the heavily cut german and english versions!) this fight is one of the best, ever satged with van Damme showing all he's got, only that here it's much better filmed than it was in "Bloodsport" for ex. His famous "Splits-kick" can be reviewed in this movie again, too! If only he would be doing this kind of stuff still. END

Summary: Jackie Chan's Second Strike, where is Jackie!
Review: I bought this movie and watched it and all it had about Jackie Chan was a interview. I had it returned and got the ten times better movie Supercop. Don't be fooled.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: No Jackie
Review: If you love Jackie Chan movies then this one is certainly not for you. Jackie Chan is not even in the actual movie. Sure, in the beginning you see him doing some kind of interview but thats about it. The movie is great if you like sapy revenge stories but the false picture of Jackie on the cover is a false lead. I thought that it was a sequal to first strike but this was not what I had expected. So save your money and buy First Strike instead.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "HOLLY COW' AS HARRY CARRY WOULD SAY, VAN DAMN ROCKS!!!!!!!
Review: In the beginning of this movie I thought that I was in for another rock em sock em fight it out to the death karate movie, but wow the fight scenes were almost bloodily accurate. The minute the action starts to lull BANG! POW! ZAM! VAN DAMME! I saw that I wasn't dealing with the usual sort. TONG PO who plays the vile degenerate in a role most suited for vermin, played the deranged oriental crazy man to a T. He really scared me! So as the story goes Van Damme is to avenge the tragic accident that Tong Po inflicts on his brother, and to do this he must find someone to teach him the ancient art of Kickboxing before he surely winds up losing all sorts of control. Before he knows it Ian helps him. He forces Van Damme to do the splits and owe my god Van Damme kicks Tong Po's butt with on swift Kick to the mutton chops. Shiver me Timbers if it ain't climatic. Sure to bring the family many cheers and good times in the future. If your looking for an american underdog movie that the whole family can enjoy, kickboxer has got the goods. HIYA!

Summary: Warning this is not a Jackie Chan movie,
Review: The original title of this movie was Project S, made in the early nineties and starring Michelle Yeoh. Jackie Chan only has a small cameo as a drag queen ! Its clear that Jackie Chan fans are being exploited by video distributors and I for one find this kind of abuse offensive. If you would like any advice on other Jackie Chan movies then e-mail me at peterharrop@freenet.co.uk

Rating: 5 stars
